 ## Doctor Who: The Two Doctors - A Disappointing Multi-Doctor Story 
  
 Based on the information from Chakoteya.net, The Two Doctors seems 
 like a missed opportunity for a story featuring two incarnations 
 of the Doctor. Here's a breakdown: 
  
 **Strengths:** 
  
 * **Multi-Doctor Story:**  This story brings together the Second 
 Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker), 
 offering a unique opportunity to see their contrasting personalities. 
  
 * **Classic Villain:** The return of the Cybermen adds a familiar threat 
 to the narrative. 
  
 **Weaknesses:** 
  
 * **Wasted Potential:** Reviews suggest the story doesn't fully utilise 
 the potential of having two Doctors interact. 
  
 * **Weak Plot:** The plot revolving around the Cybermen 
 and the Dodecahedron seems convoluted and uninspired. 
  
 * **Underdeveloped Characters:**  Both the Second Doctor and Jamie, 
 his companion,  appear sidelined in the story, with the focus shifting 
 to the Sixth Doctor and Peri. 
  
 * **Unnecessary Cruelty:**  The violence and cruelty displayed 
 by the Sixth Doctor might be off-putting for some viewers. 
  
 **Overall:** 
  
 The Two Doctors seems like a disappointing entry in the Doctor Who canon. 
 While the premise of featuring two Doctors is intriguing, the story 
 suffers from a weak plot, underdeveloped characters, and an overly 
 cruel portrayal of the Sixth Doctor. 
  
 **Rating:** Based on the information provided, The Two Doctors gets 
 a rating of **4 out of 10**. There are some interesting elements 
 on paper, but the overall execution seems lacking. 
  
 **Additional Notes:** 
  
 *  Fans of the Second Doctor or Jamie might be disappointed by their 
 lack of presence in the story. 
  
 *  If you're interested in multi-Doctor stories, there are other 
 entries in the Doctor Who universe that might be more satisfying, 
 like "The Five Doctors" or "The Day of the Doctor."
